Method
Curried Cauliflower Steaks
Prepare the Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and slice it into 1-inch thick steaks. You should get about 2-4 steaks from one head.
Season the Steaks
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously on both sides of the cauliflower steaks.
Bake the Steaks
Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
Saffron Rice
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Cook the Rice
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, saffron threads, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Marbled Potatoes
Preheat the Oven
While the cauliflower is baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) if not already done.
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the marbled potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Season and Roast
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and fresh rosemary. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and tender.
Kaeng Kari
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, brown sugar, and lime juice.
Simmer the Sauce
Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Pickled Apple Pearls
Prepare the Apple
Core and slice the apple into small pearls or cubes.
Pickle the Apple
In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then add the apple pieces. Remove from heat and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Garnish
Prepare the Garnish
Chop the cilantro and mint finely. Drizzle pomegranate molasses over the dish right before serving.
